BlueSupra Connects Industrial Products to Their Digital Identity

Industrial teams rely on accurate product information to select, operate, inspect and maintain equipment. Yet certificates, instructions and product records may be stored in different files or systems. When a document is missing or hard to find, users may need to contact a manufacturer or distributor before they can confirm product details. This takes time and makes product traceability more difficult.

To make information easier to reach, teams need a clear link between each physical product and its digital records.

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) brings a product’s information together through a unique Product Identity. On a DPP-ready YOKE lifting product, users can scan its RFID/NFC chip with a compatible smartphone to open the DPP. No separate app download, account registration, login or authorization is required to read the DPP information.

Depending on the product, the DPP may include specifications, certificates and declarations of conformity, technical documents, user instructions, manufacturer details, material information and lifecycle records. RiConnect is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that provides the DPP service and organizes this information.

For this digital link to start at the product itself, the physical item needs a reliable RFID/NFC identifier. BlueSupra provides that hardware connection.

BlueSupra series is one of YOKE’s product lines and provides the RFID/NFC digital tag hardware used in YOKE’s digital solutions. It is not limited to lifting equipment; products across industries can use the technology. YOKE integrates BlueSupra into selected lifting products, where scanning the RFID/NFC chip opens the product’s Digital Product Passport. No specialized reader is required.

Tags can be matched to the product and application. Depending on the design, they can be embedded, bolted, riveted, looped, plated or attached. This helps keep the Product Identity associated with the physical asset throughout its use.

BlueSupra tags are designed for demanding industrial conditions, with resistance to water, dust, impact and corrosion. Depending on the configuration, specifications include MIL-STD-810H, IP68 and IK10. The SupraX range extends digital identity to potentially explosive environments, with ATEX, IECEx, UKEx, NEC and CEC options.

BlueSupra is YOKE hardware and is not tied to one software system. Its NFC-based design can work with RiConnect or compatible third-party asset management platforms. When connected to a platform, it supports product traceability, manufacturer authentication and access to digitized product information.

At TiTE x IHT, YOKE will show how a smartphone scan can connect lifting products with their DPP information, while demonstrating how BlueSupra can support digital identity across a wider range of industrial products.
